Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Panthers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Panthers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Powers-Johnson left real value on the table behind him.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The Jameson Williams pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 29 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They talked themselves into Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the 73rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They did well to land Khristian Boyd in slot 165, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 180th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A tidy little value on De'Corian Clark in No. 219, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
